I feel like anyone who has dealt with abusers know this: at a certain point, you need to build an impenetrable barrier between your inner world & what they say about you. The more wrapped up you get in their version of events, how they’ve twisted the narrative, etc., the more energy they suck away.

one of the most interesting facts about russ vought’s life, to me, is that NIH research is the reason his daughter had access to life changing drug to treat her cystic fibrosis. vought, of course, is the architect of the administration’s war on science. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Really needed this reminder today.
Nothing is inevitable.
Stop acting like it is.
Stop panicking about every little thing.
Don't give into the defeatist doom cloud circling around in your head.
Don't give into the bastards who want you to worry all the time.
And fight like hell.
Always fight like hell.

The wild thing about recovering from crippling low self esteem is just how often you can feel it creeping back in when something triggers you feeling like you’re not enough
But here’s the thing: no one else is iconic the way you are. No one else can be you like you can 💖

The impending pandemic will be more transmissible/deadly than COVID.
And Republicans have ✨ensured✨ it’ll cause mass death. How?

• Project 2025’s public health infrastructure destruction;
• the public’s already-Covid-suppressed immunity

If you mourn your own oppressor’s death, there is a lot of work you need to do to free yourself. Not mourning is not the same as celebrating although celebrating wouldn’t be inappropriate.

lol when asked by multiple reporters what will happen if we find out that Governor Lisa Cook lied. My response has always been: "We won't."
I'm EXTREMELY glad to know that I was right about a woman who is upstanding in every sense, and I'm SAT for the lawsuit era.

Maybe it's not all that weird you feel hopeless about CPTSD recovery if you'e surrounded by people who don't get it.
Maybe that hopelessness isn't grounded in reality-- but relentless feedback from people who have absolutely zero idea what you're struggling w/ or what you need.

What I think we are seeing and what's feeling destabilizing - we are being led by narcissists.
Anyone who has had narcissists in their lives knows what this is and how it feels. It's a drama wheel. And we can't add to it.
How is this regime a narcissistic nightmare in action?

Abuse that happens in private can result in us avoiding crowds & public spaces for years afterward. It's an example of how there isn't always a straight line between the specifics of our trauma & the specifics of our symptoms-- they don't always or necessarily mirror each other.

A hard thing about CPTSD recovery is that it very often means acknowledging the truth about how people & institutions we loved & trusted failed us.
Many of us have been conditioned to not speak ill of them-- which is a "rule" we have to scrap if we're serous about recovery.
